I’ll admit I never become a fan of the zelda series. I enjoy the games for what they are but I don’t really feel passoniate for any of them. The big exception was wind waker.

I just adore this games art direction and more carefree tone. It’s something that always stood out to me and the visuals are just fantastic even on gamecube original. The sailing and exploring is also really enjoyable as well. I know some people are mixed on this games map I always loved the setting along with all the islands and found sailing relaxing.

I guess the dungeons are more linear but I don’t care much in fact I kinda prefer it here. I like the items and found this game to have the most fluid combat in the series of the games I played.
The bosses here are really good I find them varied and enjoyable.

The characters are great having my favorite versions of zelda, link and ganondorf. Along with many of the side characters here. So much personality and charm.

Like many other games of the 6th generation this game has a strong water/tropical theme sorta similar to super mario sunshine (just more pirate than vacation) As someone who loves the setting this game appealed to me even more.

Certainly a nostalgic game for me as well this was one of the first games I got for my wii u and was my favorite game on the system for years. Might still be actually? Even tho it’s technically a gamecube game? LoL
Solid 4.5/5
